Unhappy

Matt, very plausible, happened when span mine and smacked the front wheel into a kerb, the wishbone WASNT bent, just needed a new rim and geometry but the wheel bearing started to whine soon as Steve Lawson took it out for a test drive after the other bits were sorted, needless to say it had to be replaced

cheers Sunil

I'm just glad it is not any worse than it is! Do you know if the wheel bearings on imports are different to UK cars? I don't suppose Subaru will sell me one will they?

Question

Not sure, i imagine they would be the same, - go there without the car (i.e. in a non subaru) other than that whoever services your car or a local motor factor should be able to get you one?, sorry mate, its the blind leading the blind now!

We've had to replace quite a few bearings, all from impact damage.

It's more than possible.
